Nelio Content Social Auto-Posting: Profiles, Auto Sharing and Timelines

Plugins

This article is a localized edition of the Japanese original. Read the Japanese original

Nelio Content is a plugin that lets you manage WordPress posts on a calendar and post announcements to social media when they are published. It supports X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Pinterest, LINE and more, and it can also post through Buffer or Hootsuite.

This article is based on the WordPress.org plugin page (version 4.5.2) and the source code of the distributed plugin as of November 2026. Nelio Content screens are referred to by their English labels (some parts are not translated into Japanese).

Free vs. Premium

Item	Free	Premium
Social networks you can connect	Up to 7 social networks, according to the description as of November 2026	Up to 15 profiles (depending on the plan)
Automatic posting on publish	One message per connected profile, at the same time the post is published	Use multiple templates and automatically generate timelines that keep promoting the post after publication
Resharing older posts	Manual (one click)	Automatic

Even the free version lets you announce each post once on every network when it is published. If you want to spread announcements over several days after publication, or reshare older posts on a regular basis, you need Premium.

Posting to social networks goes through Nelio Software's cloud service. The data needed for posting (the post title, URL, messages and so on) is sent to Nelio Software and to the social networks you connect.

1. Installation and initial setup

In the admin, go to "Plugins" (プラグイン in the Japanese UI), open Add New Plugin, search for "Nelio Content," install it and activate it
Follow the on-screen prompts to start with the free version or enter a Premium license key

Once activated, a "Nelio Content" item is added to the admin menu. Settings are under "Nelio Content → Settings."

2. Connecting your social profiles

In "Nelio Content → Settings," open the "Social Media" tab and select "Profiles"
Choose the network to connect with buttons such as "Add X Profile" or "Add Facebook Profile"
On the network's login and authorization screen, allow Nelio Content to post

For networks where you can post somewhere other than your personal account, such as Facebook Pages or LinkedIn company pages, choose the destination page on the authorization screen. Each network has its own posting formats (for example, whether an image is required) and account requirements.

Notes on using X (formerly Twitter)

The plugin page states that posting to X requires a separate X posting quota, and without one the plugin cannot publish to X. If you want to announce posts on X, check the conditions in Nelio Software's information before you subscribe.

3. Checking the automatic sharing settings

Under "Advanced" in "Settings → Social Media," you decide how automatic sharing behaves.

Setting	What it does
Shareable Content	The post types shared to social networks (posts by default)
Automatic Social Sharing	Choose "Include all posts, unless stated otherwise" (all posts are included and you exclude them one by one) or "Exclude all posts, unless stated otherwise" (only posts you mark individually are included)
Social Sharing Delay	How long to wait after publication before posting to social networks (minutes, 0-15)
Link Shortening	Shortens shared links
Meta	Outputs Facebook Open Graph and X Card meta tags
Cloud Notifications	Email addresses (one per line) that are notified when a social profile connection expires and needs re-authentication

Do not turn on "Meta" if an SEO plugin (such as Yoast SEO) already outputs OGP tags. The same tags would be output twice.

The templates that announcement text is built from are set under "Automations" in "Settings → Social Media." Templates can include hashtags and account names starting with @.

4. Checking messages for each post

Nelio Content adds its features to the post editing screen.

Social Timeline: the list of social messages scheduled for that post. With "Add Social Message" or "Create Social Message," you can add messages or rewrite their content
Highlight for Auto Sharing: sentences you select from the body are used as material for automatically generated messages

An "Auto Share" column is added to the post list, where you can see whether each post is included in automatic sharing (Enabled / Disabled). If you chose "Exclude all posts…" under "Automatic Social Sharing," only the posts you include here are shared automatically.

If you change the date and time of a scheduled post, the social message schedule changes to match.

5. Testing that it works

Of the connected profiles, keep only ones you can use for testing (a private account, or a page where test posts do no harm)
Publish a test post
Check the message status in the Social Timeline on the post editing screen, and confirm the post also appeared on the social network

Messages that failed to post are shown as "Failed Social Message." If you revoke the app's authorization on the social network, or the authorization expires, the connection breaks; reconnect it under "Profiles" when that happens. If you register email addresses in "Cloud Notifications," you receive an email when re-authentication is needed.
